Blogging is not new to me; It has been a time-consumer of mine for a good portion of my life, actually. It is one of those things that has helped me to feel sane and has aided in a lot of healing that I have experienced in my life, as well as feeling understood and wanted. However, I would never say that it was not until recently that I decided to really turn my blogging into something glorifying to the LORD.

Have you ever known one of those people who always had too much to say, but never knew how to express it in words? That's how I feel, all of the time. I feel as if there are oceans of words inside of my heart, waiting to be surfed. Waters waiting to be enjoyed. Sometimes the waters inside of my heart are risky. Scary, even. But they need a chance to be tested. They need someone willing to explore them.

It's time, though, that I pour my heart out on paper. It's time to create meaning from the storms inside of me. It's time to turn my brokenness into something beautiful.

And... dare I say it?

It's time to put my story out there, be it something people are willing to invest in.

Here I am. (Send me.)
Here I am. (Send me.)
Here I am. (Send me.)

They say three times is a charm. Three times. I mean it.
